A JSON RPC message would be sent to the wave servers (which is the current format for robot response to Wave). The servers would then respond by creating the wave and populating it. A desktop application would send the same sort of message, but with an authentication request in there as well. Desktop applications would not be optimal for creating waves directly, as the user can pull them apart and view the username and password of either a robot or some other authentication method. But that sending a request to the appspot server location of your robot would keep them well away from your robot authentication information.
